DrLeslieEe,
Any luck with Mammoth pollen???
Yes!! I have sent both pod seeds to several flaskers. Likely back later in the year. Or next depending on germination.
Leslie,
I tried to “Start a Conversation” and won’t go through…can you PM me?
Looking for some pollen for this girl. Any leads or help would be greatly appreciated.
Wow!

Very nice flower, great job!!!!
I think if you don't get any pollen by now, you may want to contemplate a selfing.
1) by the time you get the pollen , your flower may no longer be fresh enough, and ready to wilt (today is day 7 from the date of its opening)
2) you can not cross it with another inferior hangianum , just for the sake of outcrossing, the pollens must be from a better form , or better in size, or better in color flower.
3) a selfing may still result in slightly different offsprings anyway
just my thought, perhaps you can ask others to cast their votes .
Mammoth pollen is arriving today. Flower is still in excellent condition. Also, it was previously “selfed” I did not want to self again.
was the previous selfing successful?
Next year, I hope!!
Did it arrive yet?
I did not realize that you had secure the pollen from Leslie's flower, that flower is a superb bloom in everyway.
This plant was the result of a “selfing”.
No, not yet.

Hope you got it. and I wonder how long it will take to be a blooming-sized plant? The little/tiny seedling that I got from ST auction three/four years ago is still alive but that is about it. Maybe it is time to find a new one....
Congrats again.
It arrived, and pollination if successful was yesterday.
Wishing you all the luck in having that pollination take. We need to get more of these out into the hands of paph. lovers.
exciting
